VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 12

An architect is working with a customer to design a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution that is required for a highly secure infrastructure project that must remain separated from all other virtual infrastructure. The customer has already purchased six high density vSAN ready nodes and there is no budget for additional nodes to be added for the expected lifespan of this use case.
Assuming capacity is sized correctly, which VCF architecture model and topology should the Architect recommend?

Answer options

• A. Multiple Instance - Single Availability Zone Standard architecture model
• B. Single Instance - Multiple Availability Zone Standard architecture model
• C. Single Instance - Single Availability Zone Standard architecture model
• D. Single Instance Consolidated architecture model

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, the Single Instance Consolidated architecture model, as it is designed to maximize resource utilization while ensuring high security and isolation, suitable for the client's requirements. Options A and B are not appropriate as they involve multiple instances or availability zones, which contradicts the need for separation from other infrastructures. Option C, while a single instance, does not provide the consolidation benefits necessary for the project's constraints.
